Chapter 17 Making Fertilizer

In fact, the production of fertilizer is not too difficult, especially plant ash, the simplest, as long as the dead branches and weeds are burned into ash, and then stored in a dry place, plant ash has more potassium, is the main source of potassium fertilizer, also belongs to alkaline fertilizer.

Of course, this is too simple, and the effect is not too good, so it is only suitable for use as an auxiliary fertilizer.

After thinking about it for a while, Luo Yi has also come up with a way to make organic fertilizers, although it is a little difficult, but the effect is definitely better than plant ash.

Organic fertilizers contain nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium three elements, potassium production only needs plant ash, and nitrogen, animal manure, human feces and urine; Finally, phosphorus is the most difficult thing to deal with, and it is mostly found in the bone marrow of animals.

To sum up, as long as these three elements are combined, and then two-thirds of the sand is added, sealed in the barrel for fermentation, within two months, ready-made organic fertilizers appeared, although compared with the modern ones are a little rough, but the effect is definitely not much different.

Luo Yi has always been resolute in doing things, since he has an idea, he will do what he says, and he will never procrastinate.

Early the next morning, before dawn, he woke up and took Lannie straight to Nanshan.

There is a saying in the village, telling to chop firewood and go to Nanshan, hunt on Beishan, and check for dead branches and weeds, of course, go to Nanshan to collect.

However, for a smart person like Luo Yi, of course, he would not be stupid enough to go up the mountain to carry firewood back every day, but directly start setting fire to the mountain, burn the firewood to ashes, and then use the backbrush to carry it back, which saves a lot of time and effort.

The road in the South Mountain is really easier to walk than the North Mountain, the mountain is flat, there are occasional slopes, and the road has been formed, and there is no problem at all to carry a hundred catties up and down the mountain.

Luo Yi carried the bag on his back, took three cloth bags, and climbed up Nanshan two hours later.

Lanny was introducing Luo Yi to the terrain along the way, she was very familiar with this place, although Liu Laohan usually didn't let him go up to Beishan, but whenever he went to Nanshan, he took her with him.

After walking on Nanshan, Luo Yi already had a preliminary understanding of Nanshan.

Moving under their feet, the two went directly to the place with the most dead branches and weeds, and finally arrived at their destination at about noon.

Lanny sat on the ground to rest, Luo Yi quickly collected the surrounding grass and trees, all the dried up, moved to the open area and piled them up, and then lit them with a fire fold, and when they burned to ashes, they used wooden sticks to peel off the ashes so that it could cool down early.

It sounds very simple, but it is actually very complicated, such as the ignition link, you must clean up all the weeds within a radius of a few zhang quickly, and only start igniting after confirming that it will not cause a fire.

This is actually very dangerous, but Luo Yi has to do this, if he carries all the grass and trees back and burns them to ashes, he won't be able to collect much in half a year, only in this way is the fastest.

In order to save time, I can only take risks.

For a whole day, Luo Yi was busy working, constantly collecting plants and trees, constantly lighting them, and then spreading them to dry, fortunately, there was no strong wind, otherwise it would be a tragedy if it was blown by the wind.

Gradually, the sky darkened, and Luo Yi sat under the big tree with the fire fold.

Lanny looked up at the sky and asked eagerly, "Big brother, don't you want to go back, it's almost dark." ”

"Don't worry, the ashes aren't cold yet."

Luo Yi stuffed the fire fold into the cuffs, looked at the clothes on Lannie's body, and smiled: "Lanny, do you want to wear new clothes?" Or I'll take the fabric to your Aunt Zhang's house tomorrow and make you two sets. ”

"Well, I haven't made new clothes in two years."

Lannie smiled sweetly: "Big brother, it's good to have you." ”

"Hehe... It's good, look like you've gained weight. ”

As he spoke, Luo Yi reached out and pinched the pink little face.

Not to mention, it's really a bit fatter, there wasn't much meat on the face, but now you can pick it up and throw it away when you pinch it, and the pink and tender meat is obviously good.

This is inseparable from the improvement of living standards, during this time there is plenty of meat, and Lanny does not work, she picks up delicious food every day, eats and sleeps, and it is strange that she is not fat.

Luo Yi smiled, he was very relieved to have such a lovely sister, and thought to himself that as long as he had it, he would satisfy Lanni, let Lanny live a good life, and get rid of the previous life of drinking gruel every day.

If you want to do this, it is not too difficult for Luo Yi, and now he is already living that kind of life, and when the two seasons of Zhancheng rice are harvested, the life of the family will become better.

Before he knew it, the sky had become dark, Luo Yi quickly got up, put all the ashes on the ground into his pocket, and then moved it to his back.

The amount is just right, just one by one.

Carrying the ashes of the grass and trees, Luo Yi led Lanni down the mountain quickly, there was night lighting, the road was wide, but it was not too difficult, and it didn't take long to return to the village.

.......

In the next ten days, Luo Yi did the same thing as today, getting up before dawn every day, and when it was dark, he came back with a large back of grass and wood ash, and Lannie had been following at the beginning, but when the new clothes were ready to be put on, she didn't go up the mountain again, Xu was afraid of soiling her clothes.

Luo Yi was also energetic when he worked alone, and accumulated a lot of grass and wood ash in ten days, all of which were piled up under the eaves and covered with waste cloth, and it was roughly estimated that it should be no less than half a ton.

Liu Laohan was idle, and he also tossed with Luo Yi, and heard that Luo Yi needed animal dung, so he went everywhere to look for it, at first he went to some big households in the next village to ask for cow and horse dung, and later collected it in the village.

More than 20 households in the village were collected, and all of them were dumped by Liu Laohan in a newly dug pit in front of his house.

Luo Yi really can't do such a disgusting thing, especially the that people pull, it's disgusting to look at; However, Liu Laohan didn't seem to care, he was busy for ten days, and he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

On this day, Luo Yi went out very early, but instead of going to Nanshan, he went to his own field.

Ten days is enough time for the grain seeds to take root and sprout and grow into seedlings, and today I went to check the results.

In fact, when I was in the countryside before, my family had to raise seedlings and transplant them every spring ploughing, but Luo Yi had always watched from the sidelines and never done it himself, so if I really want to talk about it, this is the first time.

The first time crossing...

The first time I went up to the mountains to hunt...

The first seedling transplant...

It's a rare first time in my life, and I can't help but feel a little apprehensive.

After all, this is ancient times, and there is a huge gap between the climate and the quality of grains and modern times, and the most important thing is that the greenhouse is also extremely simple, if there is any accident, Luo Yi really doesn't know what to do.

With trepidation, he went to the edge of the field, where the grain was thrown was closed by a curtain, so it was not visible, and he wanted to see the fruit unless the curtain was lifted.

Luo Yi walked over step by step, squatted down, and lifted a corner of the rag covering the greenhouse...
